Does USCIS Require that an Educational Degree be
Submitted with the H-1B Petition at the Time of Filing?

Dr. William:

I want to let my employer to apply the H-1B status for me next week. But I will get my Master Degree within about 2 months. Does USCIS require that an educational degree be submitted with the H-1B petition at the time of filing?

Answer:

Evidence of the beneficiary’s educational degree must be submitted at the time of filing. If all of the requirements for the degree have been met, but the degree has not yet been awarded, the following alternate evidence may be submitted:

a) a copy of the beneficiary’s final transcript; or

b) a letter from the Registrar confirming that all of the degree requirements have been met.

If the educational institution does not have a Registrar, such letter must be signed by the person in charge of the educational records where the degree will be awarded.
